Ofsted inspectors to make a judgement about a school’s effectiveness and capacity to improve.
Undoubtedly useful, data do have their limitations.
Data do not tell us why schools are performing as they are or how they will be in the future.
What data can do is offer great opportunities for schools to explore strengths and weaknesses.
Inspectors never make a judgement based on data alone; they make judgements by applying, objectively and dispassionately, their own professional knowledge and skills, setting the data in context and alongside other sources of information available to them about a school’s effectiveness and capacity to improve.
